I just love this video, it’s so yin yang.
To me there is so much going on and it speaks to how there are always 3 of each of us in Tango and in life.
1 who acts/dances (exemplified by the young man and woman arriving to the hall)
1 who watches the dance (exemplified by the young man and woman already at the hall)
1 who is connected to everyone else on dance floor (exemplified by the couple dancing and the crowd watching)
Do you ever notice how few collisions there are on the dance floor? (unless you are in Santa Cruz, CA and John and Sandy are dancing, you may not crash into anyone in a month!)
What this means to me is that we are not dancing by out selves, or with just another partner, but with everyone in the entire room. Ourselves, our partner, everyone.
Another point of note:
1:21 sec. into the video, there is a man sitting there watching, he is the only one wearing sun glasses. Who is this person? Who is he to you? Some might think he is the God archetype who is orchestrating the whole drama, notice how he shows up again at the end, as Gods are wont to do?
Happy Holidays Everyone!

It’s got a great narrative to it certainly, but the repetition of the couple left me needing to watch it several times before I really got it…
Yes! I think that is one of the points of the video, that we all do the same moves over and over again, and every time it’s a bit different (diferente), much like life, we come here over and over again we repeat the same steps and they seem similar but they are not…
